George Carlin on Obedient Workers, Wall Street and the Big Club

You know what they want? They want obedient workers.

Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the

machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept

all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the

reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears

the minute you go to collect it. And now they're coming for your Social

Security

money. They want your fucking retirement money.

They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall

Street. And you know something? They'll get it.

They'll get it all from you sooner or later,

'cause they own this fucking place.

It's a big club, and you ain't in it.

You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it's the

same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell

you what to believe. All day long, beating you over the head in their media,

telling you what to believe, what to think, and what to buy.

The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems

to notice. Nobody seems to care
